French Lessons: Passionate about the French language, I support you at all levels for tangible and motivating progress!
My Approach as a French Teacher My teaching method is centered on tailored, personalized learning designed to meet the specific needs of each student. From the very first session, I assess the student's level, goals, strengths, and areas for improvement to create an effective and customized program. Who Are My Courses For? My lessons cater to all levels—from beginner to advanced—for adults, children, students, and professionals alike. Teaching Methods: I focus on an active approach, incorporating practical exercises and real-world examples to make learning dynamic and relatable. Whether the goal is improving written expression, preparing for exams, writing CVs or cover letters, mastering business French, or academic support, I ensure that every session is interactive and adapted to the student’s pace and needs. What Does a Typical Lesson Look Like? A lesson usually begins with a brief review of previously covered topics, followed by a new lesson or practice in a specific area. I also provide concrete tools (e.g., practical guides, exercises, role-play scenarios) to help students practice independently and make steady progress between sessions. What Makes Me Different as a Teacher? Passionate and dedicated, I adapt to each student's personal goals and prioritize consistent, motivating progress. My aim is to impart not only technical skills but also confidence, enabling students to use French fluently in both everyday and professional settings.
